1.0 out of 5 stars Wow - what a bad book, November 16, 2008

I have never read a Danielle Steel book before, but if this is any indication of her writing, I will never read another as long as I live. My husband bought this book for me at Costco and was very excited to give it to me, as he thought it sounded interesting. According to the jacket write-up, it should have been interesting. What starts out as a great premise for a book turns out to be boring, trite, lacking in descriptive detail, and repetitive. It was as if we had to keep being reminded, chapter after chapter, about the same information from earlier in the book; as if we forgot what had previously happened in the story. I see Ms. Steel has written a slew of previous novels, many of which were apparently very popular. Maybe she's getting tired, or maybe she's getting paid by the word or something. The only reason I finished this book was, well I'm not sure. Maybe hope that at any moment it would get good. Well, it didn't.

2.0 out of 5 stars Average Book, Lots of Repetition, AGAIN!, November 23, 2008

Steel once again writes a story of a character who loses loved ones on the Titantic. Been there done that.

The book is mediocre, at best. The main character, in typical Steel style faces lots of tragedies, but the way the story is written, it just doesn't draw the reader in. She could have made it more interesting as this female character becomes a physician. But...it isn't interesting.

As in the Steel's books over the last 5-7 years, since she pumps them out in record time, this one is filled with repetition. Over and over the same words saying the same thing. I read this book in a day and a half. It seems most of her books could qualify for novellas. I wonder if she gets paid by the word??

Get this from the library, save your money.

When I first started to read this book, I said to my self, "this is just like another one of her books." I kept reading and the more I read the more I enjoyed it. This is one of her better books, she hit just about every subject imaginable, from death, to marrying a gay man to working in a war zone, to going to med school, being raped and coming around full circle to love again. I would recommend this book
